2 thoughts on “Turning Executive Branch Functions Into “Independent Commissions””

  1. I always pay close when Jon Turley shares his wisdom with us. Although he doesn’t have his own show , he appears frequently on the major TV networks, has columns on the NY Post, Washington Post, NY Times, PBS and podcasts . He also has a page on Facebook.

    He has written several books. Among them is his ” The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage “. Below is review from Amazon:

    ” This book places the current attacks on free speech in their proper historical, legal, and political context. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not only written for times like these, but in a time like this. This country was born in an age of rage and for 250 years we have periodically lost sight of the value of free expression. The history of the struggle for free speech is the story of extraordinary people—nonconformists who refuse to yield to abusive authority—and here is a mosaic of vivid characters and controversies.

    Johnathan Turley “has written a learned and bracing book, rigorously detailed and unfailingly evenhanded” (The Wall Street Journal) showing us the unique dangers of our current moment. The alliance of academic, media, and corporate interests with the government’s traditional wish to control speech has put us on an almost irresistible path toward censorship. The Indispensable Right is a “magnum opus should be required reading for everyone who cares about free speech” (Nadine Strossen, former president of the American Civil Liberties Union) that reminds us that we remain a nation grappling with the implications of free expression and with the limits of our tolerance for the speech of others. For rather than a political crisis, this is a crisis of faith.
